New Delhi: Hundreds of gay rights activists have marched through the streets of New Delhi to demand an end to the stigmatization of gay people in India’s deeply conservative society.
There was a carnival-like atmosphere on the streets as activists sang songs and carried rainbow-coloured flags and balloons while marching to the beat of traditional Indian drums.
A group of activists carried a 15m rainbow-coloured banner, while others waved placards demanding the freedom to lead dignified lives.
Demonstrators urged an end to all forms of discrimination against gays, lesbians and transgenders, four years after a colonial-era law that criminalised gay sex was overturned.
